Low Vibration Sensitivity Fiber Spools for Laser Stabilization

Author(s)
Archita Hati, T Li, B. Argence, A. Haboucha, H. Jiang, J. L. Dornaus, D Kone, A. Clairon, P. Lemonde, G. Santarelli, Craig W. Nelson, E. Burt
Mechanical vibration induced frequency noise is dominated at low Fourier frequencies in a fiber spool stabilized laser. Environmental vibration causes

SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING INDICATOR REPOSITORY

Author(s)
Shaw C. Feng, Prabir Sarkar, Che B. Joung, John Carrell
Sustainable manufacturing promotes manufacturing processes that minimize environmental and social impacts while maintaining economic benefits. To achieve this

Characterization of high-purity, pulsed squeezed light at telecom wavelengths from pp-KTP for quantum information applications

Author(s)
Thomas Gerrits, Burm Baek, Martin J. Stevens, Brice R. Calkins, Adriana E. Lita, Scott C. Glancy, Emanuel H. Knill, Sae Woo Nam, Richard P. Mirin, Robert Hadfield, Ryan Bennink, Warren Grice, Sander N. Dorenbos, Tony Zijlstra, Teun Klapwijk, Val Zwiller
We characterize a pp-KTP crystal designed to produce pure single mode squeezed vacuum at 1570 nm. Measurements show Hong-Ou-Mandel interference with 97%

Dual-comb based measurement of frequency agile lasers.

Author(s)
Ian R. Coddington, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Esther Baumann, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury
Properly stabilized, frequency combs form high accuracy references across much of the optical spectrum. Here we employ dual frequency combs to harness this

Dual comb spectroscopy from 1.25 to 1.7 υm

Author(s)
Alexander M. Zolot, Ian R. Coddington, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Esther Baumann, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury
A coherent dual comb spectrometer spanning much of the near infrared was constructed from broadened erbium fiber lasers. Gas phase water, methane and acetylene

Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors

Author(s)
Karl Berggren, Vikas Anant, Burm Baek, E Dauler, X Hu, Andrew J. Kerman, F Marsili, Richard Mirin, Richard J. Molnar, Sae Woo Nam, F Najafi, Martin Stevens, F Wong, Tian Zhong
Existing Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detector (SNSPD) technology achieves simultaneously high device detection efficiency (as high as 57% at 1550 nm

Micro Cryogenic Coolers for IR Imaging

Author(s)
Ryan J. Lewis, Yunda Wang, Jill Cooper, Mu Hong Lin, Victor M. Bright, Yung-Cheng Lee, Peter E. Bradley, Ray Radebaugh, Marcia L. Huber
Joule-Thomson micro cryogenic coolers (MCCs) are a preferred approach for small and low power cryocoolers. With the same heat lift, MCC's power input can be

Toward Privacy Standards Based on Empirical Studies

Author(s)
Serge M. Egelman, Erika McCallister
In this paper, we argue that if privacy standards are created to guide “do-not-track” technologies, it is imperative that these standards are created with the

Optical illumination optimization for patterned defect inspection

Author(s)
Bryan M. Barnes, Richard Quintanilha, Martin Y. Sohn, Hui Zhou, Richard M. Silver
Rapidly decreasing critical dimensions (CD) for semiconductor devices drive the study of improved methods for the detection of defects within patterned areas
